ESI - GIGAPORT eX
ideal for DJs, Producers, and Mobile Mixers
ESI’s GIGAPORT eX is unlike any other USB audio interface ... the GIGAPORT eX is a serious multichannel playback solution with the best price value ratio on the market due to its unique set of features providing 8 independent outputs (and full 7.1 surround sound support), 2 independent stereo headphone outputs and excellent audio quality supporting up to 24-bit and 192 kHz.
The upgrade of ESI’s famous GIGAPORT HD+ provides ASIO 2.0 drivers for professional audio mixing and playback under Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The hardware is also CoreAudio compatible and natively works under OS X / macOS even without the installation of a special driver.
This makes GIGAPORT eX the ultimate solution for digital DJs on the road working with notebook computers. Simply use your chosen DJ software and the eight outputs as up to 4 different stereo channels, enabling you to mix, cue and add effects! Monitor and pre-listen to your signals via the two built-in headphone outputs. GIGAPORT eX of course also works on your desktop computer and is compatible with all important professional audio DAW software applications. The hardware also works with consumer programs such as DVD playback software.
